Best for Smaller Busts

Notable 5-star review:

Pepper really gets it right for small chests! After going off of estrogen birth control, my boobs shrunk, a lot. I was feeling pretty insecure about how much my old bras were gaping. Which is why I was SO excited that the Lift Up Bra fit me so perfectly. There’s no gaping, it has a nice, “natural” amount of padding, and it’s so comfortable despite the underwire. I want 10 more!!


Best for Larger Busts

Notable 5-star review:

Beautiful to look at and beautiful to wear! Comfortable on, and sexy to boot. Can't go wrong if you are full busted and want some "oomph"—in other words, some lift. The sides hold the girls front and center, giving you a sensuous shape. There is also gorgeous lace and a rhinestone drop in the center. You get great support and real comfort—a must-have if you want that push-up look.


Best on Amazon

Notable 5-star review:

This is the most comfortable bra I have ever put on my body. I thought comfortable bras had to be ugly and make your chest look like a pancake. I was mistaken. The straps and the band are so comfortable, while being supportive and thick (which I like, but if you like thinner straps, this particular one is not for you). The lace is not itchy and the cups are not weirdly shaped. It provides more lift than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise.


Best Push-up Bralette

Notable 5-star review:

I opened this and immediately noticed how soft and comfortable it felt. Seems to be very nice quality, too. It’s that soft, cotton material that’s also kinda stiff so it doesn’t feel flimsy. Holds my boobs in wonderfully.


Best Strapless

Notable 5-star review:

This is the best strapless bra that I have found and I am naturally busty. My boobs are heavy, and sleepy, and this bra holds them up, makes them look good (no more flattened uni-boob), doesn't fall down at all!!!!


Best Wireless

Notable 5-star review:

This bra is super comfortable and puts my girls right where I like them. I am a 36C and feel the bra is true to size. The material is super soft too. It gives the feeling of an underwire push-up without the uncomfortable wire digging in. It’s not super padded, which I like because I have more wide-set breasts and like when a push-up centers and lifts without adding too much volume. So it’s perfect for me!


Best T-Shirt

Notable 5-star review:

I am so happy with this bra. It's really worth the price. The fit is awesome! The girls are lifted and separated beautifully. The bra is sturdy and comfortable, yet pretty and fancy with the mesh, and the little silver dingle dangle. Seriously, it makes me feel very sleek and looks good under clothes. I think the silhouette it gives is very youthful compared to some of the dowdy old grandma bras we who are busty have to put up with. And it comes in nice colors. What more could we ask? It even washed well. I definitely recommend! Will buy more of these.


Best Lace

Notable 5-star review:

Cute bra, and it makes me look cute. This push-up brings my girls closer together which I love. Super comfortable and easy to wear.


Best Lightly-Lined

Notable 5-star review:

OMG this is most comfy bra ever and make my large girls look good. I have my boobs sag a bit and is mostly side boob until you fill them into the cup. It nice to get lift get vavoom chest. Great price point for a larger bra size and is so soft. I love that the hook gives you indication on where you should move to 2 month, 4 months, 6 months in wear. I actually ordered two size to get the right fit, but I think after trying these on, I am going to return both and get the three pack!!!! Highly recommend!!!


Best Seamless

Notable 5-star review:

This bra deserves 5 stars...I found a bra that I can wear all day long without the urge to take it off as soon as I get home! I highly recommend others to try. I keep repurchasing! It's my favorite.


Best Graduated-Padding

Notable 5-star review:

This bra is pretty and gives great support, without going overboard on the padding. It gives just the right amount of shaping to tees and sweaters and looks very natural. I have worn this style for many years and have not had any problems with the mesh band stretching out.


Best Mesh

Notable 5-star review:

I am in love the bra—fits perfectly and is exactly what I needed and wanted throughout my years of searching for the right bra. Words cannot explain how much I love this bra. Thank You ThirdLove.


Best Natural Lift

Notable 5-star review:

After searching for a bra that makes me look and feel great but is also comfortable for wide-set breasts, I stumbled upon this bra in an online forum. As soon as I tried it on I felt sexy, which NO bra had made me feel in a very long time. The fit is amazing, I feel so comfortable and supported and it gives me great shape. After shopping every bra site out there I was surprised that the one I love the most was at Soma all along!


Best Balconette

Notable 5-star review:

I'm a nursing mama and I wanted something that wasn't a nursing bra and felt sexy and comfortable. This is it. I was worried it wasn't going to fit or would pinch and poke—but nope, not at all! Loving this bra. My chest hasn't felt this perky since pre-baby.


Best Convertible Strap

Notable 5-star review:

Loving this bra! I haven't been very successful in finding convertible bras that fit well...until now! Not only is the quality great, the fit is perfect. They were right in saying that this fits better on a full bust. I've tried the different combos, I bought this specifically for racerback and am pleased that there isn't a gap in the cup when I covert to the criss cross. And, bonus, bought this on sale! Definitely recommend.


Best Adhesive

Notable 5-star review:

This has solved all my problems with wearing low-cut items. Even with days of scorching heat it, held up to perfection!!

What type of pushup bra is best?

The best pushup bra is the one that you feel most comfortable in. No one should have to suffer through a wire poking their boobs day in and day out, all in the name of a good lift. Plus, if the pushup bra doesn't make you feel like ~that girl~ in one way or the other, why wear it, right?!

When you're perusing through this list for the best pushup bra for yourself, also consider these other factors:

  • Figure out what sorts of 'fits you'll be wearing with a pushup bra. What's the neckline and strap situation like? Are there cutouts? Will a textured or seamed bra show through the material?

  • Decide on the support you want or need. Do you want the girls to be light and free? Do you want something super sturdy? How about something in between?

  • Think about the materials you're naturally drawn to. Maybe only the most buttery-soft, seamless styles feel good on the girls. Or do you love the transparent look of mesh? Are you a lace girlie, or nah?
